Wenger confirms Sanchez deal “likely” plus other transfer updates

Where to start this morning… Arsene Wenger confirmed many, many good and positive things in his pre-Palace press conference, so let’s start with the most high profile one.

He confirmed that the deal with Manchester United to swap Henrikh Mkhitaryan for Alexis Sanchez is “likely to happen”, saying via The Guardian that:

“The deal can happen or it cannot happen, if it doesn’t happen he [Sanchez] could play on Saturday [v Palace], I’ve worked on transfers for 30 years, it’s likely to happen but these things are never guaranteed…”

He also denied the Armenian’s agent’s claims that Mkhitaryan’s wage demands were holding up the deal, saying they “would not be a problem…” and said if the deal falls through, Sanchez will still be available for Palace, and took part in this week’s training sessions.
